Super-Extra-Happy Mail

The other day I looked in my mailbox and saw that my package from Leila arrived! I did a little happy dance in the driveway! I already knew what it was and I couldn’t wait to get my hot little hands on it!Every thing about this package was delicious…the cute stitched wrapping, the handmade tag, her business card (which is so awesome I want to make new ones for myself!)…it even came in a pink mailer!And I think I showed great restraint by taking one whole picture before tearing into it!

As part of the “pay it forward” game, Leila made me the cutest little coin purse EVER!In fact, I saw it on Flickr even before I read her blog post and I think my heart actually skipped a beat! (I may have even squealed out loud and startled the dogs!)

I cannot get enough of these kettles!

I finally got me some Ruby Star Rising!

inside (I'm so in LOVE with that shade of blue!)

Even though it’s a coin purse, I’m trying to decide how I want to use it.You’re about to get a peek inside my crazy head…but money is dirty and I want this to stay beautiful...it's too good for gross and grimy coins!…so I’m thinking I will either use it for business cards or gift cards (that’s how I buy my starbucks…and I buy a lot of starbucks!...this will be the perfect size to carry with me)…or I could use it to carry my favorite lipstick and gloss (they currently reside in a TSA-approved Ziploc baggie in my purse! So not glamorous!). Whatever I decide to fill it with, I just know that I want this to be on my person at all times!

So now I get to pay it forward and make something for three of you!Fun! So if you want to play along, leave me a comment – I’ll send the first three people a handmade goody!The only rule is that you will have to pay it forward by making something for three of your peeps within a year.No prob!
